Live Attenuated Vaccines
Live attenuated vaccines are a type of vaccine used to protect against certain infectious diseases. This type of vaccine is made using weakened forms of the live virus, bacteria, or parasite which cause the disease. In contrast to inactivated vaccines, which use dead forms of the virus, bacteria, or parasite, live attenuated vaccines are able to replicate in the body and produce a stronger immunological response. This type of vaccine is highly effective at producing immunity against many infectious diseases and is used in a variety of settings, from routine childhood vaccinations to controlling disease in populations. Live attenuated vaccines are an important tool for controlling the spread of many infectious diseases, thereby providing significant public health benefits.
